Simone de Beauvoir in her book The Second Sex - Myth & Reality, said that is easier to see a woman united for cause with a man from the same social class than with women from diferent classes.

I guess it's hard for woman to be compassionate with another woman if she doesn't agree with her. Maybe its because our world made us believe that we can't be friends, that other women is just waiting to catch our men... Well, it doesn't matter why it's like that, we need to change.

I'm trying to knit a web of sisterhood around me and I'd really love to see this web turning into a giant wave of compassion and love made of women. We have the great power to heal with kisses and to transform a small embryo into a big baby! So I believe we can change whatever it needs to be changed.

I wish we could just accept that we are all doing the best we can with what we have, in the best interests of our own family. That we could share and learn from each other without guilt or feelings of judgment.

I'd like to put to rest the idea that you can't be a feminist if you are a stay at home mom. As the president of my state chapter of NOW (National Organization for Women), I hereby declare the notion that stay at home mom's cannot be feminists, and notion that staying home with children is not "feminist," are myths. Thank you.
